2011 Château Beychevelle

Lot of 3 excellent Bdx wines with top ratings. The 2012 Château Troplong Mondot is a highly acclaimed, full-bodied red wine from the Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé B appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. Renowned as one of the standout successes of a demanding and late 2012 vintage, it represents a monumental final legacy from the estate's late iconic proprietress, Christine Valette. • Blend: Dominated heavily by 90% Merlot, complemented by 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc (some technical sheets note a simple 90/10 Merlot and Cabernet blend). • Alcohol Content: Reflecting its rich, modern style, it sits between 14.2% and 14.5% ABV. • Production & Aging: Sourced from 31–33 hectares of the estate's prime clay-limestone plateau. It was aged for 18 months in French oak barriques (70–75% new) and bottled unfiltered.

Community reviews on CellarTracker aggregate to a highly rated 92.4 average. • Appearance: An incredibly dense, inky blue-black core fading into a vibrant purple rim. • Nose: Powerful and aromatic, defined by luxurious notes of blueberry liqueur, cassis, graphite, truffles, chocolate, and toasted coffee beans. • Palate: Opulent, creamy, and grand-scaled. It balances high ripeness and glycerin with a prominent backbone of dense, powdery tannins and structural freshness.
